Tye and Robert Trujillo: Korn And The Prodigy Son

The metal world was shocked in April when it was announced that Korn bassist Fieldy would not be taking part in the band’s South American tour. Instead, 12-year old Tye Trujillo would be anchoring the group. Fans were split over the move, but now any fears can be set aside by watching a new mini-documentary on the trek.

“Korn And The Prodigy Son” is a 15-minute video that documents the young bassist. Tye’s father, Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, narrates the film with insight on the band, his son, and the tour.

Check out the film (and awesome bass playing):
